okay so my op tomorrow morn admission at 11:30… i have packed everything (bras, pillows, snacks/drinks, entertainment) and got my outfit ready…how early can i be?? i’m setting off at about half 9 cause my mum reckons there will be a traffic jam lol, it will take about 40 mins to get there if traffic ok… just don’t know if you can go in early??
& can someone PLEASE tell me what happens when u arrive, just really nervous, like when you get there to finish if anyone can.. sounds stupid but i think it might help think it’s cause i don’t know whats actually going to happen so it’s making me really nervous… I’m at Preston First Trust Hosp if that helps. any advice on that would be great so i know what to expect… (i’m a day case if that makes a diff)
also sounds stupid but do you wear a bra there, i’m thinking not too just wondered what others did?…
on last note… can’t believe this is the last night i will have small boobs and a small bra, excited, nervous and a million other emotions & want to thank everyone that has helped me over the last 8 weeks without this forum I would of been on breaking point so thanks a lot!! x

0pHey hun, you’ll be fine! Enjoy it! 🙂 I got there about half an hour early and went straight to my room, I’m sure you’ll have no problem if you do get there early. I was at Preston too, I wore a bra and just the stuff I was going t go home in, button up shirt and leggings. When I got there they directed me to my room gave me the gown, the socks and the underwear which I had to get changed into straight away, then two nurses came in and I filled out all the paperwork and singed a few things, just asking about if I was on any medication etc, it was a bit repetitive really, then the ward doctor came in and checked my pulse and listened to my chest, he advised I have something (can’t remember what it was called) to calm me down as I have suffered from anxiety in the past but said they’d do that shortly before my operation. Next the anaesthetist came in and went over what they would do. Then your surgeon comes in to see you and draws on your boobs, you sign some papers with your surgeon and confirm the size you wsnt and go over any last minute questions. After that they put the canular in while I was still in my room so they could give me the stuff to calm me down, which worked wonders! I wasn’t allowed to stand up after that and they brought a trolly bed thing I had to shuffle on to take me to the operating room, I waited outside it for about five minutes which would have been nerve racking if I hadn’t had the stuff haha.. Then I was in the operating room and out of it 🙂 I didn’t have much time to panick as between admission and my op I was pretty much busy with all the staff haha and everyone was so so lovely, they really help relax you and put your mind at rest. Sorry for the long post haha but good luck for tomorrow and keep us updated! Xxx

0pFirstly don’t panic!
I personally didn’t wear a bra there thought I would make the most of being comfy before 6 weeks in a sports bra!
I got to the hospital about half an hour early it not sure just how early you can be but there is an asda very close that has a cafe so you could always sit there for a little while.
When I got there I got my gown on then the nurse checked my obs. After that the ward doctor came and asked me some questions and listened to my chest. Then the anaesthetist came to explain a few things. Then finally your surgeon comes and draws on you. After that you will be going down to theatre!
I had a four hour wait from my admission time to op but it all depends on whereabouts you are on the list.
Good luck and just think this time tomorrow you will have your new boobies! Xxooo thanks girls I’m so nervous haha keep thinking somethings gonna go wrong or the cars gonna break down or something haha, i think i might need something to calm my nerves but think it’s more cause i don’t know what to expect when i get there once the canular is in i will be fine:D thanks a lot for the advice at least i know the process, thought it would be diff for everyone but yours too sound quite the same… i don’t wanna wear a bra but what i’m wearing is low-ish cut so think i will just cause will feel weird lol… i’m wearing a long dress button up with tights there but putting pj’s in my bag for way back jus in case i cba haha.. and ye i will probs be there an hour early with my mum being cautious haha guess it’s better than late ehy! and i know i can’t wait hun xx
Dont worry I was at Preston, its great hospital and fantastic staff.
Tell lady your name at desk then i was introduced to a nurse tuk me to my room told me to put gown on and came back and did blood pressure. Docs came in and did more paperwork. Then Mr Traynor came in and drew on me and told me id be goong down in 40 mins. 40mins later and lady came for me she was a gem. Let me send quick txt to my mum. Walked down with me was there wen I went to sleep and when I woke up. And tuk me back to my room and gove me my phone so i cud phone my mam.

0pI don’t know whether its because I was so drugged up but I thought it was an amazing experience haha. If you do get really nervous just tell them and they’ll do all they can for you, they really are lovely. I had a quick nap after the op and then I was up and about and getting changed and everything I was almost back to normal my mum kept telling me off for doing stuff haha xx
thanks girls… i’m too excited, going out my mind though hehe.. and sounds stupid but which way do you put the gown on, i know when i’ve worn them before you put the open bit at the back?? see am even worrying about stupid things that don’t even matter haha… and awe they sound lovely i’m sure tomorrow i will be saying that it was an amazing experience, just need to get there and get that canuar in my hand & i will be happy! haha… and ye i will tell them if i am, just in case my heart rate high or whatever nerves can mess up & ye i can imagine my mum gonna be the same hehe, i will let you all know how i get on. thanks again girls xx
